In the mid-1950s, the U.S. Navy was testing a new, radar-guided air-to-air missile, the AIM-7 Sparrow, intended for use with the next generation of jet fighters. To test the new missiles properly, the Navy converted surplus propeller-driven fighter aircraft for use as radio-operated drones.
One of these missile tests took place at Point Mugu Naval Air Station, California, in August 1956. The Navy launched a bright red F6F-5K Hellcat target drone on its final mission. The Hellcat was en route to the testing area over the Pacific when it suddenly stopped responding to its radio commands.
The Indian Defence Ministry has been confirmed to have initiated talks regarding the procurement of additional units of Russian S-400 long range air defence systems, following the first use of the systems for high intensity combat operations against the Pakistan Air Force on May 7-10. The Defence Ministry in October 2018 signed $5.43 billion contract for ten battalions’ worth of S-400s, and has concentrated the majority of its systems near its border with Pakistan.

The South Caucasus has long been a geopolitical fault line caught between Russia, Iran, and Turkey, scarred by decades of confrontation and conflict between not just Armenia and Azerbaijan, but also Russia and Georgia, which fought a war in 2008. Armenia’s traditional reliance on Russia for security and trade has been shaken by Moscow’s ambivalent stance during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, the subsequent Azeri takeover of the region in 2023, and by disruptions in vital supply routes linked to Iran and Georgia.
